Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
A method of forming perforating teeth in a perforating blade or rule for use in business form machines and other paper processing machines for applying perforations to business forms or other paper products.
2. Description of the Related Art
Perforating rule and blades are used in business form machines in order to apply perforations to business forms. Generally, perforating rule is made straight while perforating blades are circular, both being made in a variety of sizes. In normal use, the perforating rule and blades are required to be replaced quite often and therefore, they are packaged and purchased in large quantities and are readily disposable after use.
The perforating rule and blades include perforating teeth formed along a sharpened edge. The teeth are specifically structured and designed to form perforations in the business forms by either positioning the forms under the perforating rule where they are stamped or by feeding the forms through the machine so as to pass into contact with a rotating perforating blade which applies the perforations to the forms.
The perforating teeth in the perforating rule and blades in the related art are conventionally formed with punches and dies. This technique has been found to be expensive in producing large quantities because it limits production speed. Additionally, forming the perforating teeth with punches and dies creates burrs and distortion in the rule or blades making them undesirable for use in the business form machines. Specifically, the burrs created from punches and dies results in snagging of extraneous fiber making it difficult to strip the rule and blades from the perforated forms.
Included in the related art are U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,010,666 and 3,973,452 both of which disclose a cold rolled steel perforating blade wherein the blade height to blade thickness ratio is a critical aspect, resulting in proper contact with a mating anvil.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,248,987 discloses a rotary cutter, wherein a blade having no teeth is formed from an unhardened flat ring squeezed between matched dies. Additionally, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,554,070; 3,147,658; and 2,842,202 disclose a flexible L-shaped perforating blade which is attached to a cylinder with an adhesive. The perforating blades in these patents include a variety of desirable teeth configurations.
Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,745,835 discloses a perforating tooth configuration for creating extremely fine perforations wherein wire type electrode discharge machinery or lasers are used for cutting the teeth.
Accordingly, in view of the above patents and the problems associated in the related perforating rule and blade art, there still exists a need for perforating rule and blades which can be produced at a much greater rate of speed at a substantially lower cost wherein the resulting rule and blades include sharp, smooth teeth having smooth tapered sides adapted to be easily stripped from perforated forms. Additionally, there is a need for perforating rule and blades in which the teeth are stronger and adapted to last longer having less tendency to distort during use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of forming perforating rule and blades for use in business form machines in applying perforations to business forms. Specifically, the method of the present invention includes rotating a circular impression roll formed of a hardened material and having hardened impression teeth spaced equally about an outer circumferential surface thereof. A perforating rule or blade blank formed of a less hardened material is directed into contact with the impression teeth on the rotating impression roll causing the teeth to bite into a sharpened edge of the rule or blade blank. As the spaced impression teeth on the impression roll bite into the sharpened edge, a portion of the material on the blank is displaced at spaced intervals along the sharpened edge forming pillows of material at the base of gaps formed therealong. At the same time, perforating teeth are formed along the sharpened edge, being defined by the non-displaced material which falls between the spaced impression teeth as the impression roll rotates and rolls across the sharpened edge. The resulting perforating teeth formed from the impression roll have a minimum height making them stronger for extended use in business form machines. Additionally, the formed perforating teeth include smooth, tapered sides which allow the rule or blades to be stripped from the perforated forms while resisting residue buildup between the teeth.
The pillows of displaced material formed at the base of the gaps between the teeth provide added strength to the teeth preventing bending or distortion during use, thus adding to the life of the rule or blade and the accuracy of the resulting folds. Additionally, the pillows include a smooth rounded outer surface which discourages hangups during perforating while additionally resisting residue buildup between the teeth. The smooth configuration of the pillows further add to the ease of stripping the rule or blades from the perforated forms.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention is directed towards a method of forming perforating teeth in perforating rule and blades as commonly used in business form machines and other paper and label processing machines for applying perforations to business forms or other paper products.
Additionally, the present invention includes the resulting product of the method including the formed perforating rule 12 and perforating blade 14 as best illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4.
Generally, the perforating rule 12 is of an elongate strip configuration while the perforating blade 14 comprises a circular disc like configuration.
The method of the present invention includes rotating a circular impression roll 20 formed of a hardened material and having hardened polished impression teeth 22 spaced equally about its outer circumferential surface 23. A perforating blade or rule having a sharpened edge 30 and formed of a less hardened material than that of the impression roll 20 is moved into contact with the impression roll 20. The sharpened edge 30 on the perforating blade or rule is directed into contact with the impression teeth 22 on the impression 20 such that the impression teeth bite into the sharpened edge as the rule or blank is moved allowing the impression teeth to walk along the sharpened edge while displacing material at equal spaced intervals along the sharpened edge thereby forming perforating teeth 34 and gaps 36 in alternating sequence. The gaps 36 represent the area in which material was displaced by the impression teeth 22 leaving the perforating teeth 34 as a result of the spacing between the impression teeth 22. As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the material displaced in the gaps 36 forms a pillow 38 at the base of the gap having a substantially rounded smooth outer surface extending on opposite sides of the rule or blade. The pillows 39 provide support and reinforcement to the base of the perforating teeth 34 thereby preventing bending or distortion during use and thus adding to the life of the rule or blade and the accuracy of the resulting folds. The formed perforating teeth 34 include tapered sides 35 which have a clean smooth finish eliminating snagging and accumulation of extraneous fiber during perforating.
With reference to FIG. 4, the sharpened edge 30 is disposed about an outer circumferential edge 40 of the perforating blade 14. The perforating teeth 34 are formed on the perforating blade 14 by bringing the sharpened edge 30 on the outer circumferential edge 40 into contact with the impression teeth 22 of the impression roll 20 while allowing the blade 14 to rotate in a counter direction as illustrated by the arrow 42 in response to the biting engagement of the impression teeth 22 as the impression roll 20 rotates in the direction of the arrows 44 and 44'.
With reference to FIG. 5, the sharpened edge 30 is disposed along a top edge 50 on the perforating rule 12. The perforating teeth 34 are formed along the sharpened edge 30 by directing the rule 12 in a linear direction as indicated by the arrow 52 while the impression teeth 22 bite into the sharpened edge 30 as the impression roll rotates in the direction of the arrows 44 and 44'.
While the present invention has been disclosed in connection with a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be understood that there may be other embodiments which fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
